A better test than ping would be dig, to see the time to respond to a
request.  Of course, I tried that from a personal server, and got:

$ dig +norec . ns @9.9.9.9

; <<>> DiG 9.9.4-RedHat-9.9.4-51.el7 <<>> +norec . ns @9.9.9.9
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: REFUSED, id: 59389

Oops... growing pains?
